Facts about me
One of my blog goals this year was to be more personal and while I have touched upon personal issues, I thought some facts about me would help you get to know me even better. I hope you enjoyed reading these 25 facts about me as much as I enjoyed writing them.
- I’ve always liked my name but as I’ve got older, I’ve become even more grateful for it. I think Georgia is unusual but not too unusual – I only knew one or two other Georgia’s growing up. It’s the same for Hathaway, I don’t many (apart from my family obviously!).
- My middle name is Rachel, which I don’t mind. It could be worse!
- I’ve always had nicknames. George is the most popular followed by Georgie, Gee or Georgie Porgie.
- I was born exactly three months premature. I was due on 25th December but born on 25th I was 2lb, 8.5oz!
- I’m 5’1 with size 1-2 feet. Buying shoes is an absolute nightmare but I rely on insoles and doubling up on socks!
- I’m an only child. There have been times where I’ve wanted a sibling but I’m also glad to have had my parents all to myself.
- My first crush was Batman and I used to dress up as him, with a plastic mask and my Grandma’s tablecloth as a cape.
- I’m still massively into Batman.
- Ditto Justin Bieber. I’ve been obsessed with him since his first album and burst into tears when I saw him live!
- I’m outgoing and chatty most of the time but can be quiet around people I don’t know very well or who make me feel uncomfortable.
- I was blonde until I was 24.
- I studied English Language/Literature, History and Media Studies at A-level and English Literature at University. I also have a Postgraduate Diploma in Journalism.
- I’ve been with Phil for 7 years now. We met at University when we were 19 but actually knew of each other before through mutual friends.
- I have terrible hunger tantrums.
- I’ve always eaten healthily. I know that sounds a like a brag but honestly, I’m just not particularly into junk food. I’m not saying I never eat ‘bad’ food though, there’s nothing wrong with pizza and cake now and then!
- The only foods I don’t like are hot dogs (fake meat from a jar, no thanks!), candy floss and sweets.
- I don’t like alcohol and only drink occasionally to be sociable. I’d go teetotal any day! My favourite drinks are herbal tea, smoothies and fresh fruit juice.
- Dogs are my favourite animals, especially fluffy ones which look like teddy bears. I have a Bichon Frise called Coco.
- I also like guinea pigs. I had four as a child called Chocolate Chip, Coco Pops, Cornflake and Sugar Puff.
- I’ve never broken a bone. Hope I don’t jinx myself by saying that!
- I don’t have tattoos and will never be tempted by them.
- I appreciate the finer things in life but don’t rely on materialistic things to make me happy.
- I love city breaks and hope to visit as many European cities as possible.
- I’ve always wanted to go to America. A tour would be amazing but California, New York, Las Vegas and Miami would be at the top of my list.
- My ideal day would be going for brunch, shopping and sightseeing before having dinner at a fine dining restaurant.
Now you’ve read some facts about me, tell me something random about yourself!
